Firefly-Inspired Synchronization in Multi-Agent Systems

People have always tried to understand nature phenomena. In computer science they are mostly used as a source of inspiration for solving various problems. In my Ph.D. research I use fireflies as a role model for synchronization in a heterogeneous Multi-Agent System (MAS). In nature, each firefly flashes at regular intervals when isolated, while as a part of a group it adjusts its flashes upon reception of flashes from other fireflies in order to synchronize with them. This concept can be used in MASs since every agent can run an algorithm similar to the one "ran" by fireflies.
